§ 752 Separate Property Rights

• •If you're married, your stuff is yours and your spouse's stuff is theirs.
• •You don't automatically own half of what your spouse had before marriage.
• •This rule can change if another law says so.

Before getting married, Alex bought a house. After marriage, Alex's spouse, Jamie, doesn't automatically own part of that house.

The house is Alex's separate property, and Jamie has no right to it just because they're married.
